Radiator specialists? Or possibly make your own, once saw a radiator being hand made for a De Dion Bouton each fin was cut, stamped to crimple it and then soldered to a tube to make the core

Ooh. Will just have to measure up. But will get back to you tomorrow if that's ok

Will an inter cooler core do the same job though ?

Would a heater radiator used in reverse do the job?.

Would have thought so, needs a water jacket either side of the rad, I think it would make a nice compact charge cooler,that's what I was going to do anyway

Theres a place called arrow radiators near us in Melksham, they are very good You can always just plate an intercooler up in ally and that would be very similar, though perhaps not quite as efficient as OEM (flow management etc)

I jacketed the first one I made up but was not sure on restrictions for air / water flow. Think I'm going to just do the same. I think !
